Sarah Reed

Arctic Technician and Ships' Operations Manager

I am a marine biologist and oceanographer and previously worked as a Marine Assistant at the BAS Rothera Research Station.

I am currently working on the DIAPOD project analysing the lipid content of copepods to investigate how climate change affects the dominant Arctic zooplankton. I am also managing SAMS' research vessels.

My past time interests include racing gliders around the country, riding a bike or rock climbing - anything outdoors!
